 One of the improvements in Vista is that it doesn't select the file type when you edit a filename. Here's a quick hack to have this behaviour in XP, too! It's called TheEnd!  TheEnd - Unselect the file type when renaming files in XP. Features: - Press F2 to rename a file. - Or click a filename slowly two times.  You'll find the downloads and more info at 1 Hour Software by Skrommel. Skrommel

Similar results for people too lazy for AHK (like me) can be achieved using QTTabBar, if I remember correctly, and even more advanced with Pitaschio, where pressing F2 cycles between filename, extension and full filename with extension. The latter also works in open/save dialogs. |

I sincerely hope there's no DonationCoder members who hide file extensions for known types  Personally I use xplorer 2 which does this by default - if I wasn't, I'd buy you a cup of beer, skrommel |

I sincerely hope there's no DonationCoder members who hide file extensions for known types i actually leave the 'Hide extensions' on because i hardly use Explorer, using Altap Salamander and Total Commander instead whose behaviours are just like xplorer2. |

Well, that qualifies as "showing extensions" to me |

When I run it, the cursor is at the end of the filename before the extension, but the filename is not selected. Is this the intended behavior?
I also have Explorer2 but use it infrequently so this could be really useful if it selected the filename.

A little problem here  I run it and after having renamed a file, I'm not able to open or run anything with the double left click. EDIT: Another problem. It works only for files on desktop. Tested on XP home SP2 and XP Professional SP3. Skrommel help me please Thanks. Sorry for my poor English. |

Tried v1.1 butit still exhibits the same behaviour of not selecting the filename. I have reloaded XP SP3 since my previous post.
